Abstract

An embossed sheet of substrate material has a plurality of card portions defined thereon, each card portion having indicia embossed thereon. A first group of the plurality of card portions has first embossed indicia, and a second group of the plurality of card portions has second embossed indicia. The first and second embossed indicia provide the same information, but the second embossed indicia have a text characteristic that is different from the text characteristic of the first embossed indicia. The first embossed indicia and the second embossed indicia are embossed in the same location on each respective card portion. The card portions are arranged into rows and columns on the substrate material, and the first group of card portions and the second group of card portions form either alternating rows or alternating columns.
